In four years I will pat myself on the head

As I've written before, I'm moving stuff out. I am stunned and sad and well, stunned. This week has been a stellar set of days for me. I actually am getting ungainly furniture and a suitcase out. The lady who hauled off the little oak chair and rocker knows how to clamp and make better furniture. I don't. She'll make money and I will have less to pack into a moving van when that times comes. It will be easier to put dresser mirrors into the van and easier to put in boxes of English and Bavarian china and scads of photos and journals etc. Its past time I embraced more of the Minimalist Look- I will for sure never truly engage in that but I can at least lean that way. Ha ha.

I need to get rid of more stuff. I got rid of a bunch a few weeks ago but it still wasn't enough.

@RubyHawk I'm currently trying to find another home for my recumbent exercise bike. Its such a long and heavy monster.

@sallypup When one of my sisters sized down she had to give up Her monster bike and buy a smaller one.

@RubyHawk I'm not even sure that I can ride any bike at this point due to my wonky knees.

Moving? Cool. I hope you like your new place. I am currently trying to get rid of things to minimize everything. I cannot stand clutter anymore. Now for me less is more.

@sallypup Okay. That's cool. I appreciate that. Yeah, as we get older we don't need more stuff. I am giving my son all my vinyl records, he is into that now. I am going all digital. I like it better and it is way cleaner.

@inertia4 I have scads of photographs. I will keep them but for sure they take up room. That's cool that you found a loved one to give your treasure to.

It is sad to get rid of old stuff. But think of how much easier your cleaning will be. And as you said, easier to pack when the time comes

@wolfgirl569 I agree that it is sad to get rid of old stuff. The problem is that I have other old stuff!

Good luck with decluttering your house. I' think maybe you can take the minimilistic look a bit far but you can also hoard way too much.

@sallypup I believe I have decluttered a lot but I still have plenty of things. However I don't have every shelf and drawer stuffed full any more.
